The Declaration of the Minor's Sentiment


When, in history, a person or persons are denied their liberty, it becomes necessary for those persons to demand their rights. We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all persons capable of comprehensive thoughts are equal and are endowed with the inalienable rights.

Throughout the history of man adults have oppressed their younger counterparts. Let us cite facts to prove this thought:
He has often not permitted us to voice our opinion within an appropriate court.
He has denied us a proper means of transportation that we can control.
He has revoked our right of direct participation in politics.
He has made us subordinate in controlling our dress, privacy, and education.
He has monopolized all businesses and denied us legal work.
He has deprived us physical sustenance during certain mentally trying times.
He has prohibited our social freedom.

Now in the view of these wrongdoings, we, the minors of America, insist on certain changes. Within these changes we urge a reduction of parental control, a lower age of legal minority, and an increase in our power.

If our criteria is not adhered to, we, the minors of America, shall petition and strike. If we see a decline in our conditions, we will resolve to mob, vandalize, and destroy selected offices and structures.

As we reflect upon the past we, the minors of America, give credit to the fact that all minors and their older counterparts are equal.

Resolved, all minors are logically equivalent to adults, such is the will of God.
Resolved, minors have views and abilities that have much to be desired within the adult community.
Resolved, minors have dexterities that can only be reached by being set free.
Resolved, any restrictions limiting the potential of these ideas and abilities therby hinder not only the minors of America, but all of mankind.
Resolved, therefore, that, since minors and adults possess similar or identical logical and vocational abilities, it is the unalianable right of minors to contribute to and bear responsibility for society in a similar or identical way as their elders. That it is our right to do so we hold to be a self evident truth, and any law or reason for it to not be so, a self-evident falsehood.
